Summary |
A sharia interpretation allows Muslim men to divorce their wives by simply saying the word 'divorce' three times in one go. Commonly called triple-talaq or triple-divorce, this instant, oral divorce can only be given by men. In India, Muslim women fought and won an arduous battle to get this practice legally abolished. This is their story. - from the container |
